I, like many, have been trying to figure out what #CoronaMo is up to

What could possibly be his motivation for doing all the things he has done/not done, that were the opposite of what they should have been?

A thread: a theory, but I hope I’m wrong.

All the:
- ignoring the warnings from overseas
- ignoring expert advice
- having his own “experts”
- encouraging crowds to gather one last time
- not screening at airports
- insisting schools stay fully open
- feds intervening to allow cruise ship passengers off

It all seemed nonsensical. Surely he couldn’t be that incompetent?

Many of us rationalised that it must then be his religious beliefs to blame

What else could make someone so irrational?

And then the suspension of parliament happened.

Why is this an issue?

The suspension of parliament has concentrated power in the executive in “emergency-mode”

And they have created a group tasked with “solving problems” around #covid19australia filled with mining and other big business executives

They’ll be running the show with no oversight

I now suspect this was their end game all along.

Allow it to get bad enough that they could put this in place

Don’t screen at airports
Keep schools totally open

Not progressing as hoped? Encourage them to go to the footy one last time

Still slow? Get a cruise ship emptied

Then ... “It is unsafe for parliament to sit. Parliament is suspensed and we are in “emergency mode”

Those with the power now are big business, fascists & religious zealots

Does someone know exactly what powers the executive have in emergency mode?

If Barry Jones is worried 😳
